Old but made of gold (short version)
So, let me wish you the very best
With this little birthday rhyme
You might be old, but you're made of gold
Happy Birthday! You're doing just fine!
You haven't aged (short version)
You've aged almost not
With hardly a spot
I can scarcely believe my eyes
So tell me please
(I beg on my knees!)
How you stay so good looking and wise!?
Age is just a number
Age is just a number,
And yours is rather high.
But don't take it too harshly,
We love you to the sky!
Up there in years but we hold you dear
Your hair's turning grey,
You're up there in years.
You're getting old and wrinkly,
But we still hold you dear!
50 and beautiful
Like a beautiful flower sparkling with dew
Your radiant smile is each day renewed.
Your grace and beauty on your jubilee of gold
Are an inspiring sight for all to behold!

Loving family and successful career
Happy 50th birthday!
Can you believe it's finally here?
Look at all that you've achieved:
A loving family and successful career.
All of it is well-deserved.
Your efforts have come back tenfold.
Good luck with your next fifty years.
Be kind. Be joyful. Be bold.
Your best years have just begun
Sit back, relax, have fun,
Your best years have just begun
50 is a magic age,
The turn of a most exciting page
Full of hope and drained of strife
In this crazy, amazing, wonderful life
Wishing you the very best
Make every day a joyful fest!
Wishing you health and wealth
Congratulations
on your 50th year
I hope that you know
How I hold you dear
I wish you a future
Happy, Hopeful and Healthy
And also, I should add,
Wonderfully wealthy!
Over the hill
You're over the hill, we all agree,
There's no going back when you hit fifty.
With fifty comes weight and aching joints,
And you realize you've reached the halfway point.
Who would have thought you'd still be able to see,
When your eyes have aged for half a century?
As things fall apart and other things end,
Just remember you'll always have friends!
Life is just beginning
What a wonderful thing it must be,
To celebrate year Fifty!
To look back on your life, with your minds eyes
To think of the lows, and re-live the highs
But don't think you're old. Life is just beginning,
A new chapter while the world is spinning.
While I reflect on the day, I have one wish for you,
May all your deepest dreams come true.
Celebrate big!
Fifty years on this earth...
An incredible milestone!
So pause and look up
Lift your nose from the grindstone
Reflect on your life
The laughter and tears
And celebrate big
'Coz you're 50 years!
You haven't aged (long version)
It is so unfair that you manage to wear
Fifty years in a youthful way!
For your healthy glow and the spring in your step
Take many of those years away!
You age almost not with hardly a spot
I can scarcely believe my eyes
Please share how you manage, if only with me,
How you stay both good-looking and wise.
Still youthful
Five decades, half a century,
Years failing to find their hold,
Lie conquered, well-traversed,
Behind your steady gait.
And still remains your youthful glow,
Tomorrow's moments to conceive,
Love to share and life to live,
And wonders to await.

Here's to 50 more (full version)
Welcome to being 50!
You've reached a special point
Some will never make it to,
But you didn't disappoint.
You've conquered many an obstacle
You've achieved many a dream
You're greying at the temples
And your eyes still have a gleam
You're entering another phase,
It's one you'll love the most.
An amazing time of freedom!
So I'd like to make a toast...
To a man that we all know
And who all of us adore,
Congratulations on your 50 years,
And here's to 50 more

Old but made of gold (full version)
So now you're turning 50
It seems so odd to me
That a man can reach such a ripe old age
With such a creaky knee.
Your children love you dearly
And that's surprising, too
That kids will love a geezer so old
But I guess that's what kids do
To grow so old and feeble
And to think that you still drive!
Watch out! Old fart! Should be on your car
To help other drivers survive.
So, let me wish you the very best
With this little birthday rhyme
You might be old, but you're made of gold
Happy Birthday! You're doing just fine!

50 only comes once (full version)
Your 50th year
Is an incredible time
So take full advantage
Of your amazing prime
And celebrate life,
The tears and successes
That have brought you to where you are
And all your life possesses
With the lessons you've gained
And the wisdom you share
Every soul you touch
knows how deeply you care
You've made incredible leaps
In your fulfilling career
Building strength upon strength
And year upon year
So enjoy this year
And say "Yes" a lot
Fifty only comes once
So give it your best shot!

Life's Mystery at 50
Life's Mystery at 50
Each phase is a new dream
embarked inside of another
clouds form from particles
of these selves, others
enacted, constantly shifting
amoeba of living, you could
not see any of it coming
but you took it in like wood
good for the fire you keep
inside, that lights up with time
and heat the more it steeps in
your immense experience
the more kind your eyes towards
those you see, darkened
in trials. Once that was you,
you've lived that, through
and through, and now unfazed,
more yourself than ever
looking back on the journey
secure in your own mystery.
